GrabCAD reports it as 1800mm. Your CAD program may import it as mm, but you know what to do.
>>>>>>>>>>>> IMPORTANT FOR SCALING:
This model tree contains multiple components, each with multiple bodies. To scale the entire assembly, do not use "window select"... in at least one package (Fusion360), this causes multiple bodies to fly out of position. Instead, simply select the root component in the tree; this preserves relative positions through the scaling operation.

Modeled as solids, but model is not 3D-printable as provided.
No apologies for the lumpy hull, non-connected entities, missing info, and unannounced future updates. I blame the limitations of Fusion360 for everything.

The purpose of this model is to document this historic ship as much as possible, based on limited available information. For all the source docs and a lot more photos, see my site: https://www.facebook.com/groups/edwardjengel
>> FB site also has my traditional 2D hull lines drawings.
In many cases, simplified cartoon entities represent equipment on the ship. As better information becomes available, I'll make appropriate updates.
